Hi I am a Star Wars Battlefront 2 fanatic and the other day I downloaded a modding tool kit from Filefront.com called "Star Wars Battlefront 2 mod tools (PC)" I may be a noob a this or I may be an idiot to some. I think that I just don't know anything about modding. So to get to the point I would like a teacher/adviser to guide my way to modding heaven by giving me tips and showing me how to run the stupid ##$%@%^

Thing!!
Thanks!

Start by reading the
FAQ. And just play around with the mod tools. Look at shipped assets. That's how I learned to mod.

Read the files in the documentation folder
Start with the "Getting started doc"
Also you aren't supposed to run the BF2_Modtools.exe without moving the file, it is just a debug version of the game

So how can I get some files such as vehicles, trees, buildings ect. on the map with the Zero editor? If Zero editor is the modding program which I am almost sure is. :jango:

The whole community is your teacher here, very rarely will you find just one person to guide you step by step through the whole process
As computergeek said, read the Getting Started guide to "get started" (whodathunk it?

).
It'll guide you through some of the most basic parts of making map.
Also if you're a bit confused you can always take a look through the FAQ, as Tygr said.
In modding you'll also have to do quite a bit of figuring out yourself,
So once you've completed the aforementioned steps and gotten making a basic map down, explore around and try to do things on your own, and if you're stuck, repeat the previous steps.

Okay Tavyx I will take what you have said under advisement and I know what you mean I have done that (aside from reading the FAQ).
The only thing really that I need to know is how to get files ino the Zero Editor main frame so I can put in objects.
